SUCCESSFUL CAPITAL INCREASE

ShowroomprivÉ raises 9.9 million EUROS

 

La Plaine Saint Denis, 5 August 2020 - Showroomprivé (SRP Group), a leading European online retailer specializing in fashion for the Digital Woman, today announces the success of its capital increase with shareholder preferential subscription rights, started on 17 July 2020.

The proceeds of the capital increase will be used by Showroomprivé to finance the Company's and its subsidiaries general expenses, as part of the strengthening of its financial structure under the agreement entered into on 29 April 2020 with the Group's banking partners. This operation marks the final stage of the refinancing operations set out in the agreement.

David Dayan and Thierry Petit, Showroomprivé co-founders and co-CEOs, made the following comments: "We're delighted by the resounding success of the capital increase, enabling the Company to finalise the refinancing agreement and strengthen our cash position. We would like to thank every Showroomprivé shareholder for their continued trust. We are now in a solid financial position that will enable us to embark on the next stages of our road map with confidence." 

At the end of the subscription period on 31 July 2020, the total gross amount raised (issue premium included) came to
€9,939,072.75, with the issue of 66,260,485 new shares at a subscription price of €0.15 each. Total demand amounted to approximately €18.7 million, at a subscription rate of approximately 188%:

• 63,082,448 new shares were subscribed on a non-reducible basis (à titre irréductible), representing 95.2% of the new shares to be issued; and

 

• 61,292,487 new shares were subscribed on a reducible basis (à titre réductible) and will therefore be partially allocated in the amount of 3,178,037 new shares, representing 4.8% of new shares to be issued.

In accordance with their commitments[1] and after the scale of allotment has been applied, Ancelle S.à.r.l (controlled by Monsieur David Dayan) and TP Invest Holding S.à.r.l (controlled by Monsieur Thierry Petit) subscribed to the capital increase (on an irreducible basis (à titre irréductible) and on a reducible basis (à titre réductible)) for €3,184,144.05  and €2,468,959.50  respectively, representing 21,227,627  new shares (32.03% of the new shares to be issued) and 16,459,730 new shares (24.84 % of new shares to be issued), respectively.

 

After completion of the capital increase, the founding directors, David Dayan and Thierry Petit will directly or indirectly hold 24.76% and 17.82% of the SRP Group capital[2], respectively.

 

Settlement and delivery of the new shares and their admission to trading on the Euronext Paris regulated market (Compartment C) is set to take place on 7 August 2020. The new shares will carry current dividend rights (jouissance courante) as from their issue and will entitle their holders to all distributions decided by the Company as from that date. As soon as they are issued, the shares shall be immediately considered equivalent to the Company's existing shares and, as such, will be traded under the same listing as the Company's existing shares (under ISIN code FR0013006558). Following the capital increase, share capital will amount to €4,698,470.76 and will consist of 117,461,769 shares with a nominal value of €0.04 each.
